Summary
This pull request adds the capability to run end-to-end (E2E) tests using a new communication method with the blockchain, which leverages multicast groups.

cmd\mcast\node_sidecar)
.Docker-Compose Integration
Added a new
docker-compose-mcast.yaml
file to facilitate the test environment setup.Makefile Command
Introduced a new command to execute the tests:
IPv6 Configuration Requirement
Users must ensure Docker is configured to support IPv6 networking for proper test execution.
| Note: Tests for submitting chained transactions are omitted, as they are not compatible with the multicast communication method.
Linked Issues / Tickets
Reference any related issues or tickets, e.g. "Closes #123".
